but most people take advantage of an overnight stay at a top universal resort - 2 days express included.

Disney could do the same with their deluxe resorts - but they don't need to as they are always pretty full anyhow.

The price depends on the date and that's one of the cheapest prices.

If you want a 2-Park Unlimited Express pass for today it would cost $150 (plus tax) per person for just the one day.

I also don't want to stand in a queue for an hour. I have done in the past for a few rides - about 70 mins for Spider-Man, 80 mins for the Hippogriff, etc. But nowadays I wouldn't join a queue that was posted at 1 hour long.

I was just pointing out to anyone who hasn't visited WDW before that usually the average queue length for the average attraction is less than 1 hour. That doesn't include the headliner rides like FOP and 7DMT which often have long queues. Therefore, usually they can do more than 5 attractions a day, if they want to use the regular queues like most of us do. That's not including the 3 attractions that they can fastpass.

Of course, as Claudette pointed out, if they do turn up at a ridiculously busy time of year then they may be faced with really long queues. But that's equally true of Universal - although, with Universal, you can decide to pay hundreds of pounds extra to either stay at a deluxe hotel or get the Express passes to significantly reduce the wait time. Perhaps Disney should do the same?

Over the course of a longer trip, the express pass hotels (or at least RPR) actually work out to about the cost of a Disney Moderate. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. Since I do 50/50 WDW/Universal split it's a no brainer to stay at Universal.

Just checked, 14 nights in September this year, 2 adults (so not even the best value as 4 people in 1 EP hotel room = 4 "free" EP's) comes out to within £100 of POFQ - with a water view room to boot.

Imagine if Port Orleans gave you unlimited FP+. The value really is fantastic at Universal hotels for the money.

Shouldn't be too long then

I haven't been since 2012 I won't return until they halt all inclusive but it seems like a success so I doubt I'll ever return.
